Valentine Trail Mix

I’ll tell yo how I decided to make this Valentine trail mix: I was at Target and decided to look through the dollar bins, they always have pretty things. I found the little pink striped containers you see in the photos. I bought them because I thought they were so cute I needed to do something with them and take pictures.

And so I started to think what could I do, I imagined some kind snack like popcorn or trail mix, I then went to Pinterest and of course found thousands of ideas, the thing then was to decide which one to do.

I decided to make this Valentine trail mix because it is so easy, it doesn’t required to be cooked and oh my goodness is delicious! I couldn’t stop eating it while taking these pictures! During the whole process it’s easy for children to help, they helped me in each step.

I specially love the combination of salty and sweet in this snack and overall it’s not SOOO sweet, it has the perfect balance. After you are done making it you just have to serve it in cute bowls and done, you have an excellent snack for the Valentine’s Day party, hope you enjoy it!
